PGA Tour Canada tournament begins Thursday at Uplands
University of Victoria Vikes men’s golf coach Justin Clews sure has a sense of timing. He guided the Vikes to the Canadian university/college championship this month in Komoka, Ont., 20 years after winning the national title as a UVic player in 2003.But this national championship was about the 2023 Vikes players, not his playing days, added Clews, in re-directing the attention to the current national-champion Vikes.
It is the second time Conlan has earned such an exemption and he showed he belonged by making the cut as an amateur in the 2021 Victoria Open at Uplands, a course he knows well having worked there as a back-shop employee and on the grounds crew. As a youth in Germany, Conlan naturally played soccer, but turned to golf after being injured on the soccer pitch as a teen. The Vikes are glad he became a golfer because the graduate of John F.
“It was surreal walking down the 18th hole [with an 11-stroke team lead], in my fifth and final season with the Vikes and all the years of hard work put in and of sticking together, knowing that we were going to be national champions,” said Conlan.“Robin [Conlan] has been passionate about our program, and our leader for several years, and our Vikes players looked up to him as captain,” said Clews.
